3. Hold the SFP so that:
! The connection circuitry is adjacent to the TX and RX markings on the
module’s faceplate.
! The front will be visible when you install the SFP.
For a picture of the correct orientation, see Figure 47.

4. Insert the SFP as far as you can into the I/O module.
The SFP should slide smoothly into the I/O module and should click into place.
If the SFP does not slide smoothly into the I/O module, check that the
orientation of the SFP is correct.
